These enigmatic Hebrew verses, brought together millennia ago, have in the English language been for centuries a seemingly inexhaustible well of prayer, thought, inspiration, interpretation and mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating new Penguin Classics edition gives the full text of the psalms in the New Revised Standard Version. Each psalm is followed by a short commentary exploring some of the ways in which the psalm can be understood – whether as ancient (and often unfamiliar) poetry or in terms of its influence on later writers. Sue Gillingham has spent many years studying these great, ageless texts and is an engaging and enlightening guide to their many wonders and mysteries. Her introduction is filled with fascinating material on the nature of the psalms, and their status as a religious and literary touchstone.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 September 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 205 mm; Width 141 mm; Thickness 46 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Books Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780241804483\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":50249272230138,"sku":"9780241804483","price":21.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9780241804483.jpg?v=1788821873","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-psalms-9780241804483","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
